Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge

"You're an old soul, April," Micheal admitted, he kissed her forehead proudly.

April giggled, "I have been here before." She lightly joked.

April then picked up her handbag and Micheal grabbed the laptop he had brought with him and they exited the conference room together. They walked to the lift and Micheal pressed the button.

"You know it's been a while since we had a double date, should we get together soon?" Micheal asked. He missed her company and wanted to take her out alone but his partner was greedy and would only follow them anyway so he figured a double date would suit Casey and Dean.

"Yes, but can we make it a table for six?" She asked. April didnt want to leave Aarna and Zane out and wanted them all to bond.

Micheal and April entered the lift together, he raised an eyebrow, "I hope you aren't asking the idiot and the b*tch?"

"No no no. I want to ask Aarna and Zane to come with us too." April replied. "I am not that insane to ask those two anywhere."

"Agreed… Okay, table for six it is. Wait Zane as in Doctor Z?" Micheal then put all the pieces of information together.

"Yes, he and Aarna are back together. Hopefully for good." April added she hoped that Zane had learnt his lesson after all with a baby on its way she would need more than empty promises this time, she would need action.

Micheal pursed his lips and nodded, he didn't know what was going on but he believed everyone deserves love and shouldn't settle for less.

The lift sounded with a bing and April smiled up at Micheal, "Text me the arrangement and ill be there."

"Good job today," Micheal added. He knew Dean was overthinking things, April had this handled and hadn't needed his input this morning.

The lift doors closed and April felt a petite body crash into hers, she turned with a smile, "Good morning Aarna."

"Morning!" Aarna greeted April and let go of her. She was happy and when she saw her friend arrive she couldn't help but hug her.

As they walked to their desks April enquired, "So you're all good?"

"Better than good. Zane apologised and opened up to me. He didn't mean it, he was overthinking our relationship just as much as I was. I actually moved into his house last night. It is in the same gated complex as Grandpa Davis." Aarna?was overjoyed and spilled everything out in one breath.

April was happy for her, "I'm glad, just make sure he keeps opening up. And we will be neighbours soon."

"We will?" Aarna's eyes sparkled as she heard the news, she was overjoyed.

"Yes." April added before glancing around and lowering her voice, "After the hospital, I told Dean and then grandpa. He was overly excited and bought us the house next door to keep us close."

"That's so sweet of him. I actually couldn't believe that I moved in with Zane so quickly. But I figured you don't know someone properly till you live with them so it'll either make or break our relationship." Aarna was already picturing their kids growing up together in the same neighbourhood.

"He is very sweet, he did it so Dean wouldn't move us too far away. You're moving at your own speed, don't overthink that it's too quick, it's your own pace. Dean moved in early too but look at us now. As you say it'll either work or it won't." April replied it was nice to have a friend where conversation flowed and there was no judgement. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

"I'm excited we can both bring up our babies together," Aarna whispered to April she was buzzing; she then sat down at her desk beside April's.

April sat and placed her bag down, "We can, I can't wait. Would you like to go for a couples dinner? You and Zane, myself and Dean and Micheal and Casey?"

Aarna nodded, "I think that would be fun. let me know the dates and I can see if Zane is free. I need to pick up some clothes though. Zane kind of moved me into his place and refused to let me bring my clothes with me."

"Refused?" April was shocked.

"Yeah, well I don't tend to throw things away and I had a lot of old clothes. So he threw them out and gave me his credit card to get some new things." Aarna confessed, she never liked to throw things away and liked to be spend thrifty but now Zane made her buy some new clothes to replace the old ones.

"We can go shopping on Saturday if you like?" April asked. She wanted to get a few things as well. Grandpa had been so kind and Dean was well Dean and she wanted to give him something to mark finding out they were having a baby together.

"Saturday is perfect," Aarna answered.

Just then Emily came out of the lift and April and Aarna stopped chatting and turned to their computers. They didn't fear her, they just didn't want to get into conflict with her, it wasn't worth it.

Emily cast her eyes around the room and sneered before she sat down at her own desk and pulled out her mirror, immediately touching up her makeup.

April rolled her eyes and continued to work, she wondered how much longer Emily would be able to sail through life like this. The rest of the day flew in, April and aarna had a quick lunch and a catch up and before she knew it, it was hometime.

Aarna and April walked to the lift together and got inside. Emily caught up and jumped in with them. They glanced at one another and decided not to say anything. The lift was quiet but Emily's perfume was making the two girls sick, it was overpowering and musky.

Aarna and April then heard the bing and rushed out of the lift wanting fresh air.

"Hey!" Emily shouted. She followed after Aarna and April wanting to give them a piece of her mind but as she reached the door and glanced outside as she saw Dean Davis wrap April in his arms, she sneered and turned to the left.

Aarna was greeted by an equally good looking man, he helped her into his black Jaguar and they drove off together.. Emily took out her phone and dialled Lucy's number.
